The importance of immunity has been more talked about than ever before. The spread of the COVID pandemic has reignited fear of diseases and infections and emphasised the importance of improving our overall health and immunity. But with increased stress, unhealthy diets and a lack of exercise has negatively affected health and immunity for a large part of the population. Now, more than ever, it has become important to invest in health supplements like Nutriplus ImmunHealth. Here are some things that you can do to improve your immunity and keep yourself healthy and fit!
Get enough sleep
Studies have found that your immune system and sleep are closely tied. Poor quality of sleep and the lack of it has been shown to make you more prone to sickness. Sleep is when your body rests and rebuilds itself. Make sure that you get more than 7 hours of sleep if you are an adult and 8-10 hours of sleep if you are a teenager. Smaller kids more, almost 14 hours.
Some things that you can do to improve your sleep quality or if you have trouble sleeping is to stop using computer and mobile screens a few hours before you go to bed.
Eat your veggies and fruits.
The biggest contributor to your health is your diet. Your diet has a drastic impact on your body functions and immunity. It provides your body with all the necessary nutrients and energy it requires to function.
Studies have shown that fruits and vegetables that are rich in vitamins like Vitamin C, Vitamin D and B Vitamins have a great impact on your immunity and keeps you safe from infections. Fruits and vegetables are also rich in antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress, as well as fibre, which improves the gut microbiome. You can also use Nutriplus FibreFit to improve the fibre content in your diet.
Eat healthy fat
There is a misconception that all fats are bad for you. Nothing could be further from the truth. Unsaturated fat has been shown to have a number of beneficial effects, including brain development, cardiovascular health as well as reducing levels of unhealthy fats. These unsaturated fats can be found in olive oil, fatty fish like salmon and nuts. Certain kinds of saturated fat like those from Virgin Coconut Oil can have a beneficial effect on your health and immunity.
Fermented and probiotic food
Your gut microbiome plays a huge role in your immunity, nutrient absorption, and mental health. Fermented food items like kimchi and yoghurt have been shown to help in improving gut health, among other things. There are also health supplements from QNET like the Nutriplus GutHealth that has been specially formulated to improve your gut health.
Maintain a healthy body weight
Unhealthy body weight and excess body fat can have a drastic effect on your health. It can lead to a number of health issues like diabetes, cardiovascular issues, and increased inflammation. It has also been found that obesity and diabetes can increase the severity of your COVID symptoms.
Do moderate levels of physical exercise regularly
While an excess of strenuous exercise has been shown to impact your immunity negatively, moderate levels of exercise can improve your immunity. It has been shown the moderate exercise can improve the effectiveness of vaccines. Something like a brisk walk, steady biking or swimming can all help you maintain a healthy weight and keeping yourself fit.
Manage your stress
Stress and anxiety have been shown to have a drastic effect on your health and immunity. There is a reason why depressed and burnt-out people tend to fall sick more often than others. Prolonged stress and anxiety can weaken your immune system.
Meditation, taking a walk, yoga etc., has been shown to help reduce stress levels. You can also take the help of a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist to help you manage your stress and anxiety.
Supplements
A healthy immune system requires the necessary vitamins and minerals to work properly. This includes Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc etc. You can use supplements like Nutriplus ImmunHealth from QNET to help supplement your body with the vitamins and minerals that your body requires.
